Im shocked it took so long for them to say Nunes is a Trump surrogate..I've thought that since day 1. They may be overhyping it a bit on CNN, I dont
see "hysteria" exactly but what he did does bring up yet more questions for me in what is already in a massive cloud of questions for this
adminstration.

Exactly.

While other may want to be drama queens and change the focus to CNN's reporting, the fact remains that what happened today is quite concerning and
seems to be unprecedented.

I honestly believe that Nunes is in a seriously tough spot. I TRULY would not want to be in his shoes.

It's concerning to be sure, but he has a LOT to lose to no matter which way he goes. Think about that, he could easily be concerned for the welfare of
his family and / or friends.

What nonsense... he's running for his life right from big bad Trump's hitmen?
You have gone mad. You should find some better coping mechanisms for when you are wrong.

Nope. For starters, no matter what avenue he goes down, as far as divulging information if it benefits Trump, then the world at large sees him as the
enemy. If it doesn't benefit Trump, then the Trump supporters sees him as the enemy.

Either way he can't win.

As far as being concerned for his own or his family's safety, I would think he is more concerned about death threats from whichever group of people
find him to be the enemy, either staunch Trump supporters, or staunch Trump non supporters.

Either which way, why don't you leave ad hominems out of it.

I was worried for you mental health - apparently it's easy to judge mental health and I have judged your claims of Nunes being afraid for his family
as being unhinged.

Nothing you said actually addressed the simple point that this part of the investigation was initiated at Trump's request. Nunes has updated his
President on significant and 'concerning' intelligence being widely passed around without his knowledge.

Was the info Nunes received today "investigated" by the committee? No. Only Nunes had looked at it and the rest of the committee had not even seen it.
So it was not yet part of the investigation.

Schiff is unimportant in the equation - why would it need his approval for the CHAIRMAN of the House Intelligence Committee to update his President of
findings about something the President asked him to investigate?

Did Nunes or the committee investigate the information before Nunes updated the President about the investigation?

Not your problem. As always with you, you think being in business that doesn't concern you of paramount importance.

The information was not related to Russia.

You are right, your delusions about Trump hit men threatening Nunes' family is definitely your problem.

He did not update the president on the status of the investigation. He took info he had received, ran straight to the WH and said "lookey what I got".

And? Whose permission did he need?

No one's.

He's made it clear that he is a lap dog doing the President's bidding ...

Funny how the anti trumpers on this thread were demanding people stay on topic when Coney was saying trump was wrong.

Now when nunes makes comments showing it looks like trump and his team were surveilled they want to discuss recessions, reptilians and psychiatric
conditions.

Trump was surveilled? Is that what it looks like?

Because that's not what anyone, including Mr. Nunes, has actually, you know ... said.

We've known that Trump associates are under investigation for collusion with the Russian government.

Was this news to you?

Details of conversations recorded and 'widely' passed around.
Yeah, like he wasn't surveilled. /facepalm
You guys are losing all credibility with the 'but it was legal, but it was incidental, but...but... but". It wasn't long ago you were saying there
were no FISA warrants and no surveillance at all.

You guysare losing all credibility with the 'but it was legal, but it was incidental, but...byt... but". It wasn;t long ago you were saying there
were no FISA warrants and no surveillance at all.

So, you're on the record, again, with the "Trump was surveilled" position then? You keep embracing it and then denying it.

They are now openly talking about FISA and surveillance that is legal and have completely forgotten they said there was no surveillance at all.

What a bunch of hacks.

Honest to Pete---they are like goldfish with dementia---can't keep their stories straight. I think Jones and Stone have already proven that Trump was
under Big Brother's eyes since George II but msm doesn't want to touch that. Their documents are real.

I thought they imploded on election night but what I've seen over the past couple of weeks is just beyond the pale. Far worse than a bunch of
basketball fans whose team lost. Now they're even out there saying that the Wikileaks about Hill getting the questions from CNN was fake---at the
same time that the perp was confessing on TV! Guess they don't care if they lose the rest of the seat they currently hold in the next election. You
would think they would try to staunch the bleeding but they appear to be like those teens who cut themselves to watch the blood flow. Sad.
